NEW AUTO
RULES

The following
rules have been published for the guidance of automobiles and it's hoped
that local drivers will govern themselves accordingly.

On discovering
an approaching team, the motorist must stop and cover his machine with a
cover painted to correspond with the surrounding scenery. The speed limit
will be secret and the penalty for violation will be $10 for every mile an
offender is caught going excess of it.

In case a
motor car makes a team runaway the penalty shall be $100 for the first mile
the team runs, $200 for the second mile, $300 for the third mile and so on
until the team is caught.

On approaching
a corner where he cannot command a view of the road the motorist must stop
not less than 100 yards from the turn, toot his horn, ring a bell, fire a
revolver, haloo and send up three rockets at intervals of two minutes.

Motor cars
must be seasonably painted so they will merge with the landscape. They must
be green in summer, yellow in autumn and white in winter.

Motor cars
running on the country roads at night must send up a red rocket every mile,
wait ten minutes for the road to clear, then proceed carefully, blowing
their horns and shooting Roman candles every 100 feet.

In case a
horse refuses to pass a motor car in spite of all the precautions that have
been taken, the motorist will take his machine and conceal the parts in the
grass 200 feet from the highway.

In case the
roads are dusty the owner of a motor car shall slow down to one mile an
hour when approaching a house and send a man ahead with a sprinkler to lay
the dust till he finds a rocky road or until rain sets in.
